I saw a guy do that once because the kick stand collapsed, so he picked it up just to have it keel over the other side.....

I posted a video of that here a while back. Funny as hell, but I think the guy must have been drunk.

When I dropped mine, it dropped on the kickstand side. Whoops!

Harleys have a real bad habit of going over on the kickstand side if
you park in the grass. That is why guys carry a little block of wood
to put under the kick stand..

Guzzis will fall over if the kickstand sinks also. A chunk of aluminum with a string tied thereon
makes a handy stand rest.

Mine went over on asphalt, so the stand rest wouldn't have helped!
